Government initiatives and regulations promoting the use of contactless biometrics for secure identification

Many governments across regions have acknowledged the potential of contactless biometrics in strengthening identity management systems and enhancing public safety & national security. Favorable regulations and funding support to develop digital ID infrastructures based on biometrics is translating into significant market opportunities. For example, the Aadhaar program in India leveraging iris and fingerprint authentication has become the world's largest biometric ID system. In the Americas and Europe as well, national ID programs increasingly require or recommend the use of contactless biometric technologies for passport issuance, e-gov services, border security, law enforcement, etc.

International organizations too have played a role through standardization efforts facilitating interoperable deployment of contactless biometrics across borders. However, ensuring privacy and social acceptance remains a challenge to be addressed through appropriate legal and ethical guidelines. Overall, the expanding regulatory push by governments around secure digital identities is a primary driver propelling innovations as well as mass adoption in the contactless biometrics domain. Major technology suppliers are proactively collaborating with governments to upgrade identification systems per their mandated timelines and security specifications.
